Internal environmental factors of the organization

An organization is an association of more than one person or a group of persons who gather and work for mutual objectives. In organization the activities are more complicated and more sophisticated and are required to be performed in a systematic manner to avoid any uncertainty. The organization management has need to work diligently and honestly because current days there is great competition among the organization and each one is in struggle to defeat his competitor to this extent, so that the competitor drop the business activities. Internal factor of the organization are the directors, managers, production department labor, marketing department labor and sale and IT department labor which are the backbone of the organization. There should be integration among the department of the organization in lieu of the organizational objectives. These are also the internal stakeholders of the organization which first work with their skills to manufacture the product line of the organization better in compare of the competitor to defeat his strategies and get him out of the market.

The Company’s Micro Environment

Marketing management’s job is to build relationship with customers by creating customer value and satisfaction. However, marketing cannot do this alone. Marketing success will require building relationship with the company departments, suppliers, marketing intermediaries, customers, competitors, and various publics, which combines to make up the company’s value delivery network.

In designing marketing plans, marketing management takes other company group into account-groups such as top managers, finance, research, and development (R&D), purchasing, operations and accounting. Top management sets the company mission, objectives, broad strategies, policies. Marketing managers make decisions within the strategies plans made by top management.

Marketing managers must also work closely with other company department. Finance is concerned with findings and using funds to carry out the marketing plan. The R&D department focuses on designing safe and attractive products. Purchasing worries about getting supplies and materials, whereas operations is responsible for producing and distributing the desired quality and quantity of product. Accounting has to measures revenues and costs to help marketing kno9w how will it is achieving its objectives. Together, all of these departments have an impact on the marketing department’s plans and actions. Under the marketing concept all these functions must “think consumer”. They should work in harmony to provide superior customer value and satisfaction.

An organization’s micro environment comprises the market environment the organization operates in and it also includes internal aspects of the organization (such as corporate culture), which could influence the development of marketing strategy. To overcome the market, an organization has to assess the trend of following groups or elements of marketing environment such as suppliers, distributive network, consumers, competition and interest groups. Understanding the behavior of these elements or groups enables the organization to use its marketing strategies to encourage loyalty, obtain preference from suppliers, distributors and influence what competition do and what consumer think.

Organizations need information about the number, size and bargaining strength of their suppliers and they need to establish their ability to guarantee regular supplies, stable prices and quality. The distributive network will often impose constraints on an organization because of consumer knowledge of existing distributors and the degree of market power held by the distribution network. The basic element which is vital when developing a marketing strategy understands consumers because consumers’ satisfaction is the ultimate goal and leads to enhanced the profitability. To overcome the market, enhance the profitability and to procure the satisfaction of the consumer, an organization has to establish a competitive advantage and must understand its competitors, their strengths, weaknesses and the essence of their strategic approach.

Any analysis of the market environment must include the role of interest groups also known as ‘public’. These are groups whose opinions and attitudes may affect the success of an organization. An understanding of the attitudes of these groups enables the organization to consider how best to present itself to them. The internal environment is where the organization can exercise greatest control. The appropriate internal environment will depend largely on the corporate culture- the attitudes and beliefs of personnel at all levels. Organizations with a culture orientated towards rapid innovation and risk-taking will require a more flexible internal environment than a company which sees itself as a low risk market follower with a reliable product range. Internal structures may change to reflect the increased pressures of competitive market place.

Effect Of Macro Environmental Factors On Organization

The macro environment is concerned with broad trends and patterns in society as a whole. Changes will form the basis for evolving marketing strategies, indentifying profitable products and determining the best routes to reach consumers. Careful monitoring of this environment can enable an organization to identify threats to its business and will enable it to adopt a proactive (rather than a reactive) stance in the action it takes. The macro environment can be described in terms of four key components” political/legal, economic, social/cultural and technological (known as PEST factors). The PEST factors are the basic factors of macro environment because without getting information and research about these factors an organization could never formulate its strategies regarding the management and marketing to achieve its goals and the objectives of the organization could never be fulfilled.

How political Factors Effect Organization

The political/legal environment is very much important factor for the formulation of the strategies of an organization because it involves the interaction between organizations and government or regulatory bodies and it also includes legal restrictions imposed to regulate business and the les formal aspects of government relations with industry such as government attitudes towards the industry and the facilities provided by the government for the promotion of such industry to grow the industry and to meet the demands of the consumer by providing stable prices for the consumers and suitable environment for the industry. International developments including formalized trade agreements (e.g. the European Union) are becoming increasingly important.

Effect of Economy upon the Organization’s Activities

A developed economy and a developing economy both are different aspects and the strategies for both the aspects are different which an organization has to formulate for to increase its business and enhance its profitability, which are likely to have an impact on business either directly or as a result of their impact on consumer spending, are critical to business. The important aspects of the economic environment include inflation, unemployment, economic growth, consumer income, interest rates and currency fluctuations.

Social and Cultural Effects

The factor of social/cultural environment is also having great importance in macro marketing environment because it includes demographic change and changing attitudes and perception. Many developed countries have an aging population which has many implications for organizations. The changing role of women may also affect the marketer.

Technological factors

The technological environment is the way in which technology (both the level and the rate of change) will affect the way an organization undertakes its business. The technological environment is basically the environment which makes an organization able to introduce itself by showing its potential and the way it will fulfill the demands of the consumers of the area and how it would be useful for the country in which it is going to start.

So when developing marketing strategy any business needs to consider both the micro and macro environmental factors because a successful marketing strategy needs to fit in to the external operating environment but remain consistent with the internal attitudes and capabilities.

Considerable Analysis Of Environment

Primary purpose of every organization is to earn profits and all the rest objectives are secondary. To achieve its objectives, an organization has to keep in view all the situations and emerging changing’s in the environment to adopt and change the requisite strategy to defeat the same. Analysis of the environment is the only source through which an organization can do the needful to achieve its objective in implicative/emerging changes.

Analysis of the organization is in accordance to its business activities whether on micro or macro level, its strategies are on the basis of the environment in which it operates and vested interests of the organization. That if the organization is working on international level or macro level then the survival of the same could be possible if all the factors, forces and variables of the external macro environment which are uncontrollable, considerably be analyzed properly and the policy made on the basis should be a comprehensive which cover, control and defeat all the possible problems in future. An organization faces numbers of uncertainties and hindrances like substitute product, rival of competitors, entrants of new competitors, sociocultural changes, economical changes, political uncertainties and demographics. Therefore, an organization can only be survive in the long run and the product and price can only be stable if the analysis of the market was conducted in comprehensive manner and the strategies formed on the basis of such analysis should be in a manner that it would defeat the possible uncertainties in future.

How the Interested Groups or Stakeholders of the Organization could be defined?

All those interested groups which are directly or indirectly connected to the activities of the organization or can directly and indirectly affect the organizational activities are the stakeholder so the organization. These groups or stakeholders might be inside and outside of the organization’s boundaries and have social and ethical impact upon the organization. Stakeholders of the organization in many ways affect the organization activities because sometimes they affect the organizational activities and more often be affected by the organizational strategies adopted by the organization to achieve their organizational objectives. These interested groups or stakeholders are directors, managers, employees, labor or labor unions, share holders and the owners which internally affect the organizational activities but on the other hand customers, government, local community members, lenders, suppliers and competitors are external stakeholders of the organization.

It is important to evaluate that why the stakeholders take interest in the activities of the organization and why they intend to invest in the organization or why they use the product of the organization because no person without any purpose did not even spend a single second in any place in any manner whatsoever. These stakeholders are a part of the organization because the labor of the organization has interest in the organization in lieu of their salary, the management of the organizations become a part of the organization for a common purpose of the profits, shareholders as well as invest their savings in the organization if they evaluate from the environment the credibility and goodwill of the organization that it is going to make huge profits and the investment of him shall be secure, government intends and take interest in the industry to collect revenues from the industry and as well as from the organization and lastly the most interested group to whom satisfaction the organization struggle are the public which take interest in the organization’s product because it is good in quality and is saving their funds by providing good services. Therefore, every stakeholder of an organization does not be a part of the organization without any interest that’s why they are called interested groups or stakeholders.

Stakeholders are the interested groups of the persons who directly and indirectly are part of the organization and have impact upon the activities of the organization. These are those persons for whom and with whom the organization plans to work and upon the trust of these groups the organization go beyond its local limits to compete the global market, therefore, the utmost important responsibility of the organization towards the stakeholders is that their trust in the organization activities should not be shacked and the organization should create such circumstances that they feel more protection to work with the organization in compare of the other organization. When an organization plan to work in the global market and want to become a part of globalization then it has need of more trust of such interested groups to generate more capital because in limited capital the venture or organization could not properly introduced its product globally and even it is more difficult for a growing company to survive in such a country where a lot of other person have goodwill in such industry. To compete such competitors the organization must have a lot of resources and the same could be generated from these groups if they have trust in the organization management and their skills.

How to evaluate the performance if the organization plans to work in global market?

Performance of an organization infect speaks about the goodwill and management skills of an organization. When a stakeholder intends to work with an organization before asking from any person such interest group take a bird eye view of the performance of the organization that what is the previous history of the organization, whether the management planning was prosperous in favor of the organization, what are the profit margins offered by the organization in last years are attractable, what is the turnover volume of the organization, whether the organization achieved it projected positions in last years what ever the projected, what kind of security the organization management is providing to the stakeholders in lieu of the investments and finally whether he will more secure in respect of other organization if he will invest in the organization. When one stakeholder satisfies himself for this question then he invest his saving in any organization.
